Kim Borrero didn't want to go to the New York City all-girls party where she met her now-boyfriend Kris Crawford. Crawford did as well.
Borrero took a day off from his job. She was going to model for photos that day, but canceled at the last minute because she was not in the right state of mind. She went to her friends party.
Crawford went to Sunday mass for the first time in a long time while going through a low period. She RSVP'd on her way to her friend's gathering after leaving the church.
They met each other after arriving alone. The chemistry was obvious immediately.
I like the way she dresses and I like the way she looks. I would like to be near her. I want to be her companion. Borrero said he wanted to know who she was.
Three years have passed since that chance meeting. Borrero and Crawford said open communication and genuine curiosity has kept them together despite their differences.
Borrero and Crawford were introduced by their friends. Crawford saw Borrero's eyes immediately.
Crawford was alone on a couch when Borrero spotted him. She didn't know it at the time, but Crawford was waiting for her high school sweetheart to come back to her. Her spot was taken by Borrero.
I'm not sure if that was a sign. It was a sign. Crawford told Insider that his ex never came and talked to him after that.
They spent the next few hours talking and taking pictures at the bar. Borrero said that their connection was familiar and easy.
Crawford inquired if she could join Borrero in the bathroom. She wanted to stay close to Borrero. Borrero and Crawford kissed while the friend was in the bathroom. Everyone else at the party had left, but they went back to dancing.
They went to the bathroom after taking more drinks. Borrero had her first sexual encounter with a woman when she performed oral sex on Crawford. She always identified as straight despite experimenting with a friend when she was a teenager.
I think it was bravery. Borrero thanked Don Julio.
She said it was her first time with a woman. They never stopped talking despite Crawford wanting to know if she regretted it.
When she learned of Borrero's situation, Crawford had reservations because she had dated straight women before. She decided to be curious instead of writing her off because she couldn't deny their connection.
They continued to meet up over the next year, and Crawford asked Borrero about her fears about dating other women.
I wanted her to be as invested as I was. Crawford was worried that it might be a phase.
Since that start, they've talked about everything from sexuality to having children. They said that seeing it as a learning experience rather than an argument to win has made a difference.
The goal is for us to understand each other's perspectives and where these ideas come from. Crawford said that they are a team.
We're not against each other. We're against the world.
